Klaus Enterprises Limited

Klaus Enterprises is dedicated to the manufacture of high quality, Tungsten-Carbide coated compressor piston rods to combat wear and corrosion that is often encountered in gas field and petrochemical compression service. Standard piston rods are manufactured from Alloy steel AISI 4140. In order to minimize rod wear and corrosion, Klaus Enterprises coats its rods with Tungsten with High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) technology. Klaus Tungsten–Carbide coated compressor rods offer these benefits: 1. Durable to wear and impact. Tungsten can be sprayed to base metal up to Rc.70 hardness, or a rating of nine on the Moh scale, surpassed only by diamond which has a rating of ten. Rod temperature during coating does not exceed 350 F so that the elasticity limit of the base metal will not be altered. 2. Resistant to corrosive gases. The addition of Chromium to the base material provides the resistance required in many corrosive gas applications. Nickel base coatings may be used for severe corrosion applications. Other data: Bond strength > 10,000 psi. Porosity <2%. Oxides < 2.5%
Final ground rod finish=4-8 micro inches. Finished ground thickness=.003-.006”/side
Cold Rolled Threading Klaus Enterprises Ltd. manufactures compressor rods and studs with rolled threads. Because the grain of the metal follows the contour of the rolled thread, the rolled threads provide greater strength and fatigue resistance than conventional cut threads.
